Journal Article
Konstantinou, K., Dunn, K., Ogollah, R., Vogel, S., & Hay, E. (2016). Characteristics of patients with low back and leg pain seeking treatment in primary care: baseline results from the ATLAS cohort study. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 332. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-015-0787-8

Background
Patients with back pain radiating to the leg(s) report worse symptoms and poorer recovery than those with back pain alone. Robust evidence regarding their epidemiological profile is lacking from primary care, the setting where most of the...
